I'll go over 3 mistakes that I made with Keyword Research, mainly when I started.

1. Keywords that I could rank for...BUT couldn't monetize. This is a super common thing and I'll explain how you can avoid it.

2. Being too greedy by going for keywords that were way too competitive and not understanding the real issue with high volume keywords.

3. Not understanding the keyword research tools I was using and the data about competition.
